Ella Dorbigny was seen about the town with
one Captain Gillham. Now this was entirely
owing to his having anonymously given in
formation to Ella that her mother was still
alive, in poor circumstances and living in
Gibraltar.
Yet she could not evoke Howard Press
toms jealousy. But the great fun of the
thing is this. The wretehed woman had for
her confederate Lord Maskerleigh, who was
as desperately determined to marry Ellis
as Dora Fuentes endeayored to possess
herself of Mr.. Preston. And now that
the whole scheme has burst, they
have married, SO that one shall not betray

that u husband or wife cannot give evidence

yacht by Dona Dolores Fuentes-Miss Dor
bignY insisted upon remaining at Gibraltar,
and a very strange change took place in her.
For instance, her manner completely changed
towards Hartford. She did not say she loved
him less, but there was q strange indecision
bou her.
Frequently she would leave the yacht, and
be away from the vessel for a couple of
hours.
Once Mrs. Maybe, committing the mean
ness of following her, to her immense dis
may, she found that she neither brother,
Capt. Albert Gillian, and that they went
away together towards an obscure part of the
What could she doP Suspicion appeared
inevitable yet she knew that her brother
was a perfectly honorable man; her charge,
a perfectly pure and noble girl. Again-Ella
had only to wish to break of the engagement,
and II would have been done. She was abso-
lutte mistress of her actions.
AS for Hartford Preston, his loveand devo-
ton to Ella were courtly in the extreme.
Once, and only once, the General had
sences when he replied haughtily, TO the
effect that Ella was perfect mistress of her
own actions, and that, for his part, he could
not dream OF controlling. her actions, or even
limiting that they were Unsatisfactory.
But, my dear Preston" suffered the
General, absolutely blushing under this re-
buke, Z" know the kind of stuff of which
such men as you are made, You measure the
trust o repose in others by the measure of
your resentment when you find that your

which l have peid him he is ready to kill her
If you bid him."
Hartford trembled.
Why should you kill her 2" he said. II
love her with all the force of my life"
Malediction !" cried Dolores: =" you are
past hope. Listen. / love you! Had you
plotted with me to kill her / would have
forced you to marry me or i would have be-
trayed you. But she shall not triumph over
you,a and / tax pity on you thus"
Then, turning to her companion, she said
in Spanish to the mani; There is your vic
tim-kill him Z"
The man advanced, but the light was full
upon Harford's face.
He hesitated and cried, "Fdccid depdn-
geo :"
Then he turned and fed.
AS for Hartford, he rapidly followed Ella
and her companion.
He saw them enter a poor house and he fol-
lowed.
He saw them enter a poor room. He stood
outside. His faith and love were not even
shaken at that moment.
Then he heard her gentle voice say: why
have / come here why have l found you!
and why do l speak to you in English! Be-
cause you are my dear mother!
Honest Hartford Preston was ON his knees /;
grateful that be had never been suspicious
grateful that his love had been SO perfect.
He had heard that Gen. lDorbigny had been
separated from his wife nineteen years pre-
yiously, and upon very slight provocation,
il any, from his wife. He knew that she
was partially Spanish, and in a moment his
honest heart told him what had occurred.
Ella had discovered hat her mother still
lived in Gibraltar. She dared not trust her
father or her lover with her secret and
rightly guessing Capt. Gillham's honesty,
she had sought his help to find the abandoned
lady.
